Amandla Stenberg Comes Out as Bisexual

Hunger Games star Amandla Stenberg took over Snapchat for Teen Vogue for an evening, and used the platform to confirm her sexual orientation: she’s bisexual.



“It’s a really, really hard thing to be silenced and it’s deeply bruising to fight against your identity and to mold yourself into shapes that you just shouldn’t be in,” she said to camera. “As someone who identifies as a black, bisexual woman I’ve been through it, and it hurts, and it’s awkward and it’s uncomfortable.” 


Stenberg appears on the cover of Teen Vogue’s February issue, which also features a cover story with the actress, written by Solange Knowles.


At just 17, Stenberg is already recognized as an advocate for empowering young black women to be themselves no matter what, embrace their cultural identity and band together to debunk stereotypes and racism.


“Here I am being myself and it’s definitely hard and vulnerable and it’s definitely a process but I’m learning and I’m growing,” she said.


There certainly seems to be a trend with young stars coming out as not-heterosexual – be is bisexual, pansexual or gender fluid. Amber Heard, Kesha and Miley Cyrus have all publicly declared they are attracted to both men and women. 


Lamar Odom: Out of the Hospital! Finally!

A couple weeks after getting our first look at Lamar Odom in the hospital, we have even more exciting news for fans of the former basketball star:


He’s now out of the hospital!




Us Weekly sources confirm that Khloe Kardashian secretly moved her estranged husband to a private facility on Wednesday, keeping the decision as quiet as possible in order to avoid attention.


Odom had initially been in a Las Vegas hospital and then a Los Angeles hospital ever since he fell unconscious in a Nevada brothel on October 13.


The private facility, which will serve as a rehab center for the star, is located near Kardashian’s home in Beverly Hills.


Odom spent Christmas with his kids – Lamar Odom Jr., 13, and Destiny, 17 – last month, celebrating the occasion from a hospital bed.


“Lamar is doing way better. He was so happy the kids were there with him for Christmas and they were so happy to be with him,” an insider told Us Weekly at the time.


“The kids were happy … to bring him gifts, all of his favorite things that they wrapped up. They had so much fun. It was very emotional and very happy.”



Odom has been separated from Kardashian for years.


But the official divorce paperwork was never signed and then it was even legally revoked during Odom’s hospital stay in order for Khloe to make any necessary medical decisions as Lamar’s wife.


While many took this maneuver as a sign that the stars were rekindling their romance, Khloe is still dating Houston Rockets shooting guard James Harden.


Lamar’s life hung in the balance shortly after he was admitted to the hospital in Las Vegas three months ago.


But he’s now moving around without a walker and doctors have hope that he may make a full recovery.


He still has a long way to go, however.


We’re rooting for you, Lamar.

Lady Gaga & Taylor Kinney: See Their Post-Coital Selfie, Covered in Paint

Lady Gaga and fiance Taylor Kinney have painted a colorful picture of their sex life – literally.

The latest cover of V Magazine features the couple in a post-coital selfie they took after doing the horizontal mambo covered in paint atop a giant canvas. Because why be dull?


According to Gaga, who guest edited the issue, it was originally Kinney’s idea. 


“Since we first met, Taylor’s been drawing and painting all over me,” she wrote in her editor’s letter. “Years ago, when we were secretly living in San Diego and crashing on the floor of a beach shack, we never wore shoes. He told me he wanted to make love to me on a canvas.”


Okay, nothing surprises us about Gaga. I mean, the woman wore a meat dress and arrived at the Grammys in a giant egg for crying out loud. But Taylor? We had no idea he was so… artistic.


Kinney’s vision was finally realized after Gaga asked him to collaborate on a project with her to raise money and awareness for mental illness.


“We made love on the canvas on a Sunday in Chicago,” she said, describing their session. “We made love amidst chaos. We talked about shootings. We made love amidst terrorism. And we talked about how people’s hearts are also suffering all over the world as they watch and witness a swell of violence. We made love amidst violence.”


Okeeeeeeey. I can totally picture Gaga reciting these lines in a French accent while wearing a slinky black dress and smoking a hand-rolled joint out of a cigarette holder.


Nevertheless, Gaga hopes their sex painting will encourage everyone, even in times of tumult, “to love each other wildly, generously, totally, colorfully, without fear and with compassionate hearts.”


“We made a galaxy of endless colors with only brief, black holes of emptiness that are then filled by each other,” she continued.


It’s unclear where the couple’s masterpiece of colors and black holes will be displayed, but sales from the $ 50 V issue will go toward Gaga’s Born This Way foundation. 

Justin Bieber Gets the Boot from Mexican Ruins

Oh, Justin Bieber.


We really thought you had cleaned up your act and had decided to just focus on your love life for awhile.



But while the singer has been busy allegedly hooking up with Kourtney Kardashian and has definitely been kissing Hailey Baldwin, he’s still somehow found time to act like a doofus again.


South of the border this time.


According to TMZ insiders, the artist and his friends were acting like obnoxious tourists on Thursday when visiting some Mayan ruins in Cancun.


While taking in the sights of the famous Tulum pyramids, initial reports indicated that Bieber ran afoul of the temple gods when he pulled down his pants and actually mooned those below him.


It’s now unclear, however, whether or not this actually took place.


But we can confirm that local authorities were called to the scene by employees who were upset that Bieber and his entourage were walking around with open bottles of beer.


The crew left before police arrives, but not before cursing off the staff members.



Bieber should maybe make it a point to avoid famous landmarks going forward.


Remember when he was widely mocked to having security guards carry him up the Great Wall of China?


Here’s a reminder of that incident:



And remember when Bieber said he hoped Anne Frank would have been a Belieber when he visited her famous home in Amsterdam?


Jus go back to bedding hotties, Biebs.
